To ensure safe and optimized running of mySugr Pump Control, it is recommended that you install software updates as soon as they are available.

Monitoring of glucose results should be conducted using a glucose monitoring device that is compatible with insulin pump therapy. You can manually input data or import data via bluetooth functionality.

To enhance security when using mySugr Pump Control and to ensure that you are the only one with access, it is required that you have an authentication method (unlock mechanism) installed on your smartphone. Only choose a strong password or other strong  authentication method and do not share your password with unauthorized parties.
Allow only trusted applications to have permission to system services, such as Android Accessibility Services.

Installation

The mySugr Pump Control is an extension of the mySugr Logbook (mySugr app). Just download the mySugr app from the Google Play Store. For more detailed instructions on installation and usage of the mySugr app, please check out the mySugr app user  manual.

Connecting and disconnecting your pump

5.1 A few things to know before connecting your pump
If a remote control, e.g., an Accu-Chek Insight diabetes manager, is connected to your pump, disconnect it first. To keep you safe, your pump cannot be connected to the mySugr app and to a remote control at the same time.

5.2 Connecting your pump
To connect your pump with the mySugr app turn on Bluetooth on your smartphone.
In the mySugr app, select “Connections” from the side menu in the upper left corner.
Select your pump, e.g., “Accu-Chek Insight”, from the list.
Tap “Connect”.
Then, follow the instructions on the mySugr app.
After you have connected your pump, go back to the mySugr app home screen, where the “My pump” widget is displayed.

5.3 Disconnecting your pump
To disconnect your pump, select “Connections” from the side menu in the upper left corner.
Select your pump from the list.
Tap “Disconnect”.
Tap “Confirm”.
The “My pump” widget disappears from the mySugr app home screen.

My pump widget

The “My pump” widget on the home screen is the starting point for controlling your pump using the mySugr app.
The widget also displays the last time there was a connection to the pump and when pump data was imported into the mySugr app (1).
Tap on “Control pump” (2) to access the “My pump” home screen.

My pump home screen

On the “My pump” home screen, you can:

• Check the insulin (1) and battery (2) status
• Find out if your pump is running, paused or stopped
• Deliver a bolus (3)
• Check (4) or cancel (5) an ongoing bolus
• See the last delivered bolus

The icons for the dierent bolus types look like this (from left to right: standard, extended, multiwave):

The icons for the insulin and battery status are colored in gray. If the insulin level or battery status is low, only the respective icon turns orange. If the insulin or the battery is almost empty, the icon is colored in red (see below).

Insulin icons:

Battery icons:

Delivering a bolus

For now, you can only deliver a standard bolus. No extended or multiwave boluses can be delivered.
To deliver a bolus, tap on the “+” icon in the bottom right corner of the mySugr app home screen and then select “Deliver bolus”. Alternatively tap on “Control pump” on the “My pump” widget. Once you’re on the “My pump” home screen, tap on “Deliver bolus”.
IMPORTANT: In case you have not set up an unlock mechanism on your smartphone yet, you will be asked to do so. This is crucial so that only you and no one else can control your pump with your smartphone. Tap on “Open phone settings” and set up your  preferred option, e.g. your fingerprint. Afterwards go back from the phone settings to the mySugr app.

Enter the insulin amount and tap “Confirm”. You must authorize the bolus delivery. To do so, tap “Authorize” and unlock your phone using the unlock mechanism you have set up.
The bolus is sent to the pump and the “Bolus” widget is displayed on the “My pump” home screen. It shows the total bolus amount and the progress of the bolus delivery.
While the bolus is being delivered, it is not possible to deliver another bolus.
To cancel the bolus delivery, tap on “Cancel bolus” on the “Bolus” widget. Once the bolus delivery has been stopped, you can see how much insulin has already been delivered.
While starting or cancelling a bolus, a notification outside of the mySugr app will appear. It will disappear automatically once the connection to the pump was successfully established. A notification will also appear in case there is an error during starting,  delivering or cancelling a bolus. Tap on it to check the details within the mySugr app. To be sure that you will be notified, leave the notifications for the mySugr app enabled.
Another way to deliver a bolus is via the mySugr Bolus mySugr Bolus Calculator. After accepting a bolus recommendation, tap on “Deliver with pump”. Then authorize the bolus delivery according to the instructions above. For more detailed instructions on setup  and usage of the mySugr Bolus Calculator, please check out the mySugr Bolus Calculator user manual.

Importing data from your pump

9.1 Imported data
Standard boluses, extended boluses, multiwave boluses, temporary basal rates are imported from your pump into the mySugr app.
If the mySugr Bolus Calculator was used to deliver a bolus, the split between correction and food insulin is preserved.
Otherwise the boluses are imported as correction insulin, but you can adjust the split in the log entry. Tap on “Separate”, then enter how much of the total amount was food insulin. Depending on what you entered, the amount of correction insulin is updated  automatically. Double check and tap “Confirm”.
In case you manually logged a bolus before delivering it with the pump, it is automatically merged with the imported bolus if the bolus amount is very similar and both happened within 15 minutes.

9.2 Data visualisation
You can see the imported data in the list of entries on the home screen of the mySugr app.
For each imported bolus, there is a new entry with the date, time and the number of units delivered. The number of units are shown within a tile as shown below.

Once imported, the bolus entry can neither be edited nor deleted.
